There are four types of rear-projection TV's available currently. These are the older CRT rear-projection, DLP rear-projection, LCD rear-projection and LCoS rear-projection. Most available today are HD ready and can display digital signals.
CRT Rear-projection : these are the projection TV's that have been on the market for years. CRT or Cathode Ray Tube technology is the same technology that your old TV set's used. There are three tubes in these projection TV's each for a primary color and they project the light onto the TV's screen. Since they require three CRT tubes these TV's are very big and deep. Most CRT projection TV's come in 50 inches or larger screen size. CRT rear-projection TV's are becoming extint and many companies do not make them anymore. They need to be adjusted frequently to keep the colors in line and the image quality and viewing angles are not as good as the next three rear-projection technologies.
DLP rear-projection : (Digital Light Processing) are based off of technology developed by Texas Instruments. They produce an image by sending light through a spinning wheel of color which then sends the light to almost a million small mirrors. These mirrors produce the image onto the screen. DLP rear-projection TV's have slimmer cabinets than CRT rear-projection TV's. The biggest complaint with DLP rear-projections are the "rainbow effect" many people see. Also the bulb that produces the light for the TV needs to be replaced usually every 8,000 viewing hours.
LCD rear-projection : LCD rear-projection's use a LCD screen which is projected unto the screen. These TV's like DLP rear-projection are slimmer than the CRT rear-projection TV's. Image quality on LCD rear-projection is not as good as DLP and viewing angles are not that large. Viewing an LCD rear-projection from the center position is recommended. Also many buyers complain that moving images are pixelated and I have seen this first hand.
LCoS rear-projection: is the newest technology of the four types of rear-projection TV's. Liquid Crystal on Silicon rear-projection TV's is basically a hybrid between an LCD rear-projection and a DLP rear-projection. In these TV's light shines through LCD panels and is then modulated through these panels by the liquid crystals. The liquid crystals do the job that the mirrors do in DLP rear-projection TV's. LCoS are touted as not having the "rainbow effect" and can be made thinner than the other rear-projection TV's. A downside to these TV's is the technology is still very expensive so many companies do not make them.
PRO'S:
PRICE
larger screens than Plasma or LCD displays
CON'S:
Depth of TV cabinet
image deficiencies such as the "rainbow effect" and washed out images in well lit rooms
viewing angles are inferior to Plasma and LCD displays
*In most cases a Plasma or LCD display will have overall better image quality than any of the current Rear-Projection Televisions on the market today. Projection TV's just cannot reproduce the contrast and color accuracy or saturation that the current Plasma Technology can achieve. DLP and LCD rear- projection and the newer LCoS tenchnology has all come a long way since the days of the CRT rear-projection television but cannot equal a good Plasma or LCD display. Plasma and LCD technology also have DLP and LCD rear-projection beat in the areas of viewing angles and being used as a computer display. While most new rear-projections can be hooked up to a Xbox or Playstation they are not meant to be computer displays where LCD Televisions where.
Where DLP and LCD rear-projection TV's do come out ahead is with Price per viewing inch. Do not get me wrong DLP and LCD rear-projection TV's are great and unless you are the type of person that will get upset if the images you are viewing are not perfect then a 50 - 60 inch projection television provides a superb viewing experiance by all means. If you are a HDTV junkie and need that perfect video image then go with a Plasma or LCD Display but remember you will pay alot more.

Rear Projection LCD TV
Rear Projection LCD TV
by: Linda Harrison
The least expensive type of large TV is a rear-projection LCD TV.
Some projection TVs have three cathode-ray picture tubes (CRTs), which are like smaller versions of the tubes used in conventional sets.
The images from those small tubes are projected onto the back of a 40 inch to 60 inch plus screen, giving them the name rear projection TV.
Other rear projection TV sets use LCD, digital light processing (DLP), or liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) technology in place of CRTs.
These high tech rear projection TV sets are thinner, lighter, and as a result more expensive than comparable CRT-based sets ? but they produce a higher-quality picture.
Major brands of rear projection LCD TV sets include Hitachi, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Philips, RCA, Samsung, Sony, and Toshiba.
The most popular models are HD capable, and there are three basic types of HD TVs.
So how...

One Of Cancun's Best
by: Amy Covington
It's hard to believe that a short 30-mile bus ride from the Spring-break haven of Cancun is one of the top-ranked hotels in Central America and an exotic, unrivaled tropical paradise. While it sounds like typical romance copy, we're not just giving lip service ...the Mayan Riviera is not your standard Mexican vacation destination nor is Maroma Resort a regular lodging establishment, having recently received the Conde Nast Travel Magazine Reader's Choice Award as the #3 hotel in all of Central America. The local culture and natural resources are just some of the attractions that separate Riviera Maya from other popular destinations in Central America. For starters, the second largest barrier reef in the world is located here, providing unsurpassed water activities like snorkeling, wind-surfing, kayaking, sailing, diving, bottom fishing, deep sea and fly fishing. The unspoiled beach offers guests the utmost in privacy...

If you are looking for a new-to-market, innovative and useful product within your home, the Autobin is it! The Autobin is a revolutionary automatic opening bin. It has a built in infrared sensor on the lid, so when you place you hand near the lid of the bin, it opens, and shuts again after about 8 seconds, allowing you to drop your rubbish into the bin without the need to touch it at all. However, if you need more time, say if your peeling eggs or emptying leftovers into the bin, you can override the automatic feature by pressing the open or close button on the front panel.
If used in its automatic setting, the touchless Autobin is incredibly hygienic, and helps to prevent the spread of germs within the family household, hospitals, public toilets, offices, airports, care homes, or wherever you need a bin. Hospitals around China and Singapore are using the Autobin to help...
